Nokia Confirms Its Working on a Tablet

Nokia has long been suspected of working on a tablet device, possibly with Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system on board. Nokia design chief Marko Ahtisaari has now confirmed that the Finnish company is indeed working on a tablet device which the company hopes will be able to make a run at the iPad, a tablet that currently dominates the market.

Prior to the confirmation, Nokia had said that it was only interested in possibly making a move into the space but now we know that it’s certainly more than just interested.

Ahtisaari is apparently spending a third of his time designing this tablet so it’s clear that the company is investing quite a bit of effort into the product.

As for the specific details, there are currently none to share at this time.

We have heard that it will feature Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system, something that isn’t surprising considering the relationship the two companies have built with the Windows Phone platform.
